acid composition more similar to animal protein than to vegetable protein, being the
ideal complement for vegetarian diets. Its high fiber content and low fat content are
desirable characteristics for a healthy diet.

precursors

and beans, grains, seeds, and nuts. There is no single type of vegetarian diet. Vegetarian
